Description:
Hillel at Virginia Tech presents the 17th Annual Daniel Pearl Music Day concert featuring Owl City on Thursday, November 2, 2023.

Show your support of Daniel Pearl Music Day, the legacy of his life and work, for tolerance and understanding through music and words.

Since first breaking onto the alt-pop scene in 2007, Owl City has built a global following on the strength of his heart-on-sleeve songwriting and endlessly inventive sound. Along with earning a monumental hit with the diamond-certified "Fireflies", a 2009 release that reached No. 1 in 26 countries. The Minnesota-bred artist otherwise known as Adam Young has made waves with smash singles like the double-platinum "Good Time" featuring Carly Rae Jepsen and brought his exuberant live set to sold-out shows around the world. With total album sales of over three million and single sales surpassing 20 million globally, Owl City has now delivered the highly anticipated album called Coco Moon: a wildly imaginative body of work revealing his deepened devotion to the strange magic of creativity.

Raised in the small town of Owatonna, Young first began dreaming up Owl City’s emotionally charged form of electronic pop in his parents’ basement in his early 20s, and soon went viral with his sweetly surrealist hit single "Hello Seattle." Not long after landing a record deal and making his major-label debut with 2009’s chart-topping, platinum-selling Ocean Eyes, he achieved meteoric success with the album’s lead single "Fireflies", a heavy-hearted yet effervescent track channeling the kind of wide-eyed wonder that brightens our own outlook. "For me ‘Fireflies’ was just this random song that I really loved, but it ended up connecting with people in a massive way,” says Young. “It’s something I didn’t expect or even hope for, but it’s the coolest feeling to know that a song I made means that much to people."

Over the coming years, Owl City turned out widely beloved albums like 2012’s The Midsummer Station (featuring “Good Time” as well as collaborations with the likes of blink-182’s Mark Hoppus and hitmaking production duo Stargate) and Mobile Orchestra (a 2015 effort that found him joining forces with Aloe Blacc, Hanson, Jake Owen, and others).
